Understanding ありやな sorry , i thought ありやな was related to ありえない, which i thought was related to 有り得る. if this あり (in the question) is unrelated to 有り, does it have another kanji origination? |

Evil twins and other tropes to add two cents, ドッペルゲンガー is in wide enough usage to be the title of a good movie by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, where the ドッペルゲンガー was the evil version of the character. Also a famous song by Shiina Ringo : youtube.com/watch?v=ANKdvrBvfP0 i couldnt find a trailer but here is a clip / review youtube.com/watch?v=8a4C6IOqWDs |

Is その always or only occasionally a demonstrative adjective? regarding the quoted sentence exclusively, it is not clear that it is used anaphorically, no? |

Is その always or only occasionally a demonstrative adjective? I'm interested if 仕事の一部を誰かにやってもらったほうがいい can mean your first sentence. The 2nd sentence is natural and understandable. |

How does うんざり work in the Present Indicative, Causative, Passive, and Causative-passive tenses ありがとう。would this be incorrect? あの状況は私をうんざりさせる。 |

Help with an expression that uses お笑い vocabulary Also in case you're interested I think a decent equivalent term to つっこみ would be "the straight man". There was an older tradition of western comedy as well, kind of like laurel and hardy, where this applies in a similar fashion- a dumb guy unwittingly makes a joke and the straight man corrects/chastises him. |

Help with an expression that uses お笑い vocabulary Would this expression be used by itself in a manner similar to my revised translations? ...I saw this expression when a japanese person was talking about their top ten english grammar peeves. |

Help with an expression that uses お笑い vocabulary Thank you. Is the 突っ込み in 突っ込みどころ the person (つっこみ) or the action? |

How is this verb being conjugated and contracted? thanks. I was puzzled about the "かぶせるん" <"かぶせるの" contraction. I see that this can be a question form with the の, ( maybe not here though) so is こんなくそみたいな帽子かぶせんじゃねーよ！！” also a question, like "Why do I have to put on this shitty hat?" ? I was also interested in the kaburu / kabuseru relation, thanks for touching on that. do you think it merits another question? I am interested in how they are related, how they diverged... |

what does it mean when a causative verb is conjugated in the causative form? thanks again. what does かぶせさせる mean? in the first example it means "have them cover.."? And in the second example it would mean "make them put on"? like "the sort of blindfold you make someone put on when they are going to be hanged"? |
